After last week’s “Heroes” discussion, this one couldn’t be far behind… Who do YOU think is the greatest villain of all time?

The villains are the show stealers, the true stars. We love to hate ’em, we love to see them fooled. At times we actually root for them. However you slice it, they’re an enormous part of movies… sometimes even the best part.

So who’s YOUR favorite? WHY? AFI says Hannibal Lecter, but right near the top they also have Darth Vader, Norman Bates and the Wicked Witch of the West. All great candidates. But there’s many, many, many to choose from. How about the hulking inevitability that IS Anton Chigurh? Or the Joker? Do you prefer the manic lunacy of Nicholson, or the psychotic intensity of Ledger?

I could go on and on and on… but that’s not the point with these, these are YOUR posts. So let us hear it, who do YOU think is the greatest villain of all time?!
